at any chase depositfriendly atm and checks right from your smartphone. get rid of prepaid problems. get chase liquid. campus.... we'll show you why a measure on the november ballot has sparked a law suit against the california state university system. ....i'll have a live report with the election less than two weeks away... we'll show you how the latino vote could have a big impact on election day. the last presidential debate is over ... but many people are still confused about what the polls have to say. update news starts right

now. hello and welcome to update news... im rashida gilmore. and i'm bentli bejan... thank you for joining us. topping our newscast ... an anti-tax organization is suing the california state univiersity system. the group says ... the c-s-u should not be using public funds to promote proposition 30 ... which would raise some taxes to fund education. update news tim vantress is looking into the controversy and has a live report ... tim. it's election season, and professors have to be careful when speaking about issues on the ballot. the state university system is already on notice. " students are seen on campus promoting election campaigns virtually every day.

herlinda aguirre, president, students for quality education: "we have a possibility, we have a viable opportunity to make a stop to this cut for this year." sometimes, even teachers join them . . . . . . but not while they are on the job. c-s-u monterey bay is being sued for this very reason. the howard jarvis taxpayers association claims a teacher sent an e-mail advocating proposition 30 with a university-given address. larry carr: (associate vp of public affairs): "as state employees, we are not allowed to use state resources for political purposes." associate vice president of public affairs larry carr says when elections roll around, teachers have to be extra careful. even using state-owned equipment to print a flier can be considered a violation of the law. "we do periodically remind

people of that during campaign seasons and big elections, which is primarily when those issues come up, so we send those kind of reminders." there is a fine line to walk between educating and advocating. but though they may not be able to promote in the classroom, as journalism professor henry tenenbaum says (ten-en-bowm), they can do what their job description implies: educate. "the important thing is that people who represent the university can legally can educate. you can educate students, educate taxpayers on the facts. they cannot tell people, as i understand it, 'that's-why-we-want-you-to-vote" as carr says, the idea isn't to convince the student body to vote one way or another. it's to make sure they do it for the right reasons. carr: "we're allowed to, and we think it's our responsibility to educate people about issues and about the importance of voting."" proponents for proposition 30 want it to pass so the c-s-u system will avoid a $250 million-dollar cut. but those against it don't agree with raising state and income taxes to make up the cost, but instead feel there are still programs that the state can cut.

live on campus, tim vantress, update news. joining us now to talk about prop 30 and the budget crisis here at s-j-s-u is dr. charles bullock ... the dean of the college of applied sciences and arts. thanks for joining us .... so dr. bullock, as an educator what stance are you telling your teachers to take in terms of prop 30? what is this school facing if prop 30 doesnt pass? what should students be prepared for or be doing to

plan for next semester? can you guarantee that students who are planning to graduate next semester will be able to get the classes that they need?

do you remain optimistic about the future of higher education in california and why?

thanks for joining us dr.bullock the u-s census bureau says latinos make up one of six residents in the united states. so with the election day less then two weeks away... will the latino vote have an impact (?) update news' pedro garcia shows us the last minute push to register latinos to vote. " on the corner of story and king in east san jose...a group that advocates for immigrant rights...siren attempted to get latinos registered to vote. jeremy barousse/ siren "we are out here registering voters. it's the last day to register to vote in the state of california, so we've just launching this massive outreach to get those last minute immigrants who are out here who want to register to vote." in the united states, there are more than 21 million eligible latino voters. about 11 million of them are registered to vote. 6 and a half million voted in the previous election. political activist omar torres says every voice counts.

omar torres/political activist "it's extremely important that we go out there and vote because our vote is important you know some of our family members came into this country to find a better life and we have to do our duty to say you know what, our vote is our voice and we have to go out there and vote." political anaylst say the presidential election could be one of the closest ever. and if the election goes down to the wire political science professor melinda jackson says latinos could make a difference. melinda jackson/associate professor of political science "latinos historical have not registered to vote and have not turned out to vote in as high of numbers as whites and african americans. so their always...they always the poteteial of having a lot of political impact but they don't always fully utilize because we see that lower turnout." despite past lower latino turnout...advocate barousse feels helping latinos register to vote can go a long way. jeremy barousse/ siren "get out and vote let your voice be heard. we are all out here chasing the american dream. there's so many issues on the ballot that effect our everyday life and if they come out to vote we could make...we can have government all work for us and get what we want out of society." in the last election, 68

percent of latino voters went for barack obama. in san jose pedro garcia update news." the presidential debates are over...but in the bay area, election year politics are having a rough time competing with major league baseball . and as lexy nuno shows us ... polls showing obama up and romney down ... and vice-versa ... may be confusing many voters. " (nat sound of fans chanting"giants") monday was the third and final presidential debate...but many people like ezequiel landaverde say watching the giants...comes first. (ezequiel landaverde/giants fan):"it's game seven, it's a huge game. another debate really isn't gunna do much for me."

for some people, sports isn't the only reason the debates did not generate interest. polls and questionable facts are playing a role. (gao her/social work alumn):"with different numbers being thrown all the time...it's confusing." and she is not alone. political experts say this election is full of numbers. (dr. melinda jackson/political expert):"each candidate brought his own set of facts to the table, and that does make it very confusing for voters." and the polls keep changing every day. (dr. melinda jackson/political expert): "you know the media is always looking for a good story and so everyday we have these headlines...oh romney's up two points, oh obama's up four points...and so that's what we call the horse race." dr. melinda jackson says that these numbers aren't the ones that matter. she says that experts really trying to predict the

eventual winner...focus on the electoral college. san jose state is offering a convienient way for students to cast their ballots. three drop off ballot boxes have been set up on campus. the boxes are on the second floor of joe west hall, in the martin luther king library by the childrens center and by the associated students house. but not all students think the boxes are a good idea. " natally acosta rtvf: if you choose to mail in your ballot in a traditional mail box...remember it must have a 45 cents postal stamp coming up on update news we'll show you a little-known costume shop on campus ... with thousands of get-ups for every occasion. and we'll show you where you can go to get the new i-pad mini ... and avoid long lines at the apple store.

but first we ask students what their costumes will be for halloween. " i'm going to be winnie the pooh. for halloween i'm not going to be anything. what i'm going to be is nothing unfortunately i don't have time to find a costume or be anything cool growing up sucks because i feel like i don't have the time for halloween anymore. gabby douglass. for halloween i'm going to be myself. i'm suppose to be russell from up or snow white. i'm not really dressing up. i'm going to get a sheet put two holes in it and dress up as a ghost. i'm going to be a pirate. i wont be dressing up i might do some cat ears but that's about it. probably be nothing i used to always be like a ghost

i'd just get a sheet and cut two holes and call it a day but i'm too lazy i'll just stay home." briana villaobos (vee-ya-lobos) is here with arts and entertainment...what's going on this week briana? well guys halloween is right around the corner and just about everyone is gearing up for it. there's a costume shop on campus that few students know about. it's run by the theater arts department ... but unfortunately you won't be able to rent costumes for halloween. too bad ... because it's filled with thousands of costumes. students can rent costumes for class projects and other school related needs. costume shop manager, deborah weber, says they have a costume for every occassion. " (deborah weber/costume shop manager): "animal costumes, period costumes, and a lot of contemporary things...kind of the sky is the limit. our collection dates back probably 60-70 years."" the costumes are either bought from thrift stores, donated, and sometimes even made from scratch. it costs ten dollars to rent a costume, but again they are not available for parites or halloween.

" we have had 50 bike thefts that is 20 more than last year so in order to combat theft in addition to stepping up patroles and officers enforcing bike regulations we are asking students to come and register at the university police department." the university police department also shared important information on safety resources that are available to students. if you missed the bike registration you can go to the university police office and request information on how you can register your bike. s-j-s-u in association with kqed, held a film screening for the short film "lemon" lemon is an ispirational film about lemon andersen, who despite being a three time felon finds success and comfort in writing poetry. students came in to the student union barrett ballroom to watch the film, some said they were hoping to find some inspiration.

" with four new high rise residential buildings planned ... downtown san jose is rapidly expanding ... which means new residents will need more choices to buy their groceries. (rick jensen/downtown association) " in downtown san jose i think that the suppy of grocery stores is low compared to the demand so i think that big or small grocers is all good right now." to cater to an exptected influx of affluent downtown residents ... a new whole foods is scheduled to be built walking distance from the h-p pavillion and some students are excited.

"i am really excited i am a whole foods type of person organic is the way to go." grocery options ... have been limited to small mom and pop stores and safeway. "as a college student wholefoods is really out of my budget and i just shop at safeway normaly its just cheaper for me." now students may have an even less expensive alternative to safeway or whole foods ... grocery outlet bargain market ... just opened on seventh and santa clara. in the end ... competition is good ... and being a smart shopper doesn't hurt either. "i am a strong believer in coupons they are valuable resource to students and for people who are on a limited income so the more you can learn about shopping the better off you will be." downtown shoppers will get even more choices when whole foods breaks ground on its new store next year. in san jose briana villalobos...update news"
